(title continues)... of the 31st of December, 1849, on the subject of California and New Mexico. House Executive Document No. 17. Includes six fold-out maps, which appear to be in brittle condition. Opens with a message from President Zachary Taylor, concerning California: "...Any attempt to deny to the people of the State the right of self-government in a matter which peculiarly affects themselves, will infallibly be regarded by them as an invasion of their rights; and, upon the principles laid down in our own Declaration of Independence, they will certainly be sustained by the great mass of American people."
